I love Mama Katie and her Jamie! LOVE a reverse age gap, too! <Spoiler> And also, why do I love a murdering FMC so much?! But it's pulled off so well in both Convergence of Desire and A Clandestine Passion and it adds a layer of grit to each FMC (and upends the usual trope of MMC stepping in to defend her virtue, touch-her-and-you-die, etc). I only wanted her to feel less shame in her sexual desire at the end. I loved that she needed a non-sexual connection with Jamie but wanted it explicitly affirmed that her sexual desire has NEVER been unhealthy, she was just totally abused by her previous partner and it warped her sense of her own desire. I just feel very protective of mama Katie!</Spoiler>
